Recognizing a Bias Incident
Bias incidents take many forms – words, signs, symbols, threats or actions – in electronic or real-time. They include intimidation, vandalism, destruction of property, harassment, and expressions of hate or hostility.
Reporting Bias Incidents
Anytime anyone in the CMU community feels belittled, disrespected, threatened, or unsafe because of who they are, the entire university community is diminished. That’s why it’s important to report all bias incidents – even those intended as jokes. If you have observed or experienced a bias incident, it should be reported as soon as possible. Students are encouraged to contact a faculty or staff member with whom they are comfortable for guidance and support. To report an incident, call any one of the offices listed below.
